Washington -- Jason Richardson knows he's got to be careful. The Warriors' rookie guard has idolized Michael Jordan his entire basketball life, and even wears Jordan's No. 23. So when Golden State faces the Washington Wizards tonight, Richardson will have to resist the temptation of drawing a charge from Jordan, then not taking a shower for a week.

"It will feel great to get on the same court with him," Richardson said. "I've always dreamed of playing on the same team or against him. You've just got to go out there and play, not look at him as Michael Jordan, superstar, but Michael Jordan, the player. Even though he's the greatest player ever."
